Tuscany Garden-Farm&Adventure

I left a review a little while back, but I’ve come to change it because my issue has been resolved. Tuscany Adventure is a fun farming game with a twist. It has fantastic graphics, and isn’t a money grab like so many farm games are. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a bug while playing. I would honestly recommend it to anyone. My biggest problem in the game is that (like my previous review said), you can sometimes get stuck on a level or a quest for awhile and not be able to do much for days. For instance, I have to construct the fishing dock, but in order to do that, I need to construct a new quarry to keep up with production, and in order to do that I need to produce more goods, and in order to do that I need to harvest crops and hire more workers, but I don’t have many fields to plant because the game only allows so much, and I cannot build another worker’s house because that would mean more construction. I can’t progress in my quest on the map because it requires more construction. Getting coins is difficult to do because the orders on the board are hard to fulfill (they ask for large quantities of items), and the construction process for buildings honestly takes too long because you have to gather materials. Also, why are the decorations so expensive?? They’re almost as expensive as some buildings. Honestly, I wouldn’t delete the game over it, because once I get over the humps it’s really fun. Just be aware that you will get stuck on things.

This game has descent graphics and theme but there is no doubt that it is designed to make money. I played, without spending anything until level 12, then it was just very frustrating and boring. I have found, and this game is no different, that any game that requires energy to play, is very expensive and very unfair in it’s design. The energy in this game doesn’t go far and there are very few adds to watch in order to obtain more. Yes, they give you a cooking station, but you have to spend energy to dig up food to cook and by the time you’re done you end up with less energy than when you started. Then there are the wait times, some of them aren’t bad, until you reach a certain level. But they allow you to use gems to speed up then process, which will also cost you oodles of money if you want to get anywhere in the game. And as for earning coins to buy things, not going to get far there either. Your animals will go through their food and die at such a rate that you will end up spending a good chunk of your game coins on animal food and animal replacements. And the longer you play, the worse it gets. But what about filling orders? Eventually, they will start sending you orders for things you don’t have. For instance, I hadn’t yet gotten a bakery and I was getting multiple orders for cookies. I did’t have a green house yet but was getting orders for strawberries and sunflowers. This is the developers trying to push you to spend money. This is unfair gameplay and is very greedy behavior. It’s very convenient to be able to have a game to play on the go, but honestly, a PlayStation and several games would be cheaper by far than games like this, in the short and the long run. This is an honest review, player and buyer beware.

This is my favorite farming game! I usually play video games and not apps because I don’t like pay-to-play. But this actually feels like a game. They don’t do ridiculous tedious tricks to get people to spend money, but of course there are things you can spend money on. Honestly, I probably will spend some money just because I want to donate to them making a fun game. There is an energy system and you can run out of energy, but there are plenty of things to do that don’t cost energy, and alternative ways to get more energy of you really need some - like cook food or watch adds. It seems like the game tries to help you out when you need something- for example, a merchant may have the specific thing you’re looking for, or new orders will include specific things you have excess of- I really appreciate the developers for doing that. It makes me want to keep playing.
